Really great hostel. Safe, comfortable beds, big lockers. One suggestion: get new code locks on the doors! Not having to carry a key is handy, but the door locks require two hands to open, which can be very frustrating when carrying things, etc. Also, install hooks on the inside door of the bathroom stalls. Other than that, great job!

Perfect place to stay in Greene Point. The all-female dorm was a huge draw, and was better than expected with private attached showers and toilet. The Wednesday Brai was incredible and I'm so glad I was there for it! Overall, a comfortable and friendly place to stay in a safe and beautiful part of Cape Town!

We stayed at Atlantic Point Backpackers for two nights in a private room, and it was fantastic. The location is great -- within walking distance of the waterfront -- the room was beautiful and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also offer many different types of activities, both on premises and around Cape Town. Thanks for the great stay!

Fantastic location, and the front desk has loads of activities that u can do, bike rentals are also available. Less than a 5 min walk to the VA waterfront, it is right behind a street with resturants and a grocery store. Make ur reservations early as this tends to fill up, we stayed in both a private and 6 room suite and both were nice. The private was fantastic, private bathroom, tv, and very comfy bed. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed for a few nights before Christmas and had a great stay. Clean rooms and bathrooms, friendly staff, good restaurants nearby, and best of all, plenty of fellow travelers who made the stay fun and enjoyable.

I had a good time at Atlantic Point. The hostel is safe, the beds are good, the people are nice, the bar is good, the facilities are good and the parking inside the gate is excellent. The location, between the waterfront and the city center, with restaurants and shops just around the corner, is excellent.

That were one of the best hostels I've ever been! The staff is amazing, Chico is a great guy, there's always something to do, everything is clean and neat.
Once in CPT, stay there and you won't regret.

Amazing guests and staff during my stay. A great social atmosphere for meeting people, but at the same time, bar shuts down early so you can go out in the city if you want to keep the party going or can go to sleep if you've got an early adventure planned the next morning. The location actually wasn't the greatest, but I had such a great time at the hostel I had to make sure the hostel got rated 100%.

Nice place to stay, despite sharing a dorm with a huge woman who snored like a wildebeest throughout the night (surely hostels should kick heavy snorers out?). Overall good, but a very poor breakfast - no real coffee!

I only planned to stay at the AP for 2 days but then ended up extending it twice up to 9 days. The entire staff was amazing, special thanks to Fiona, Caleb, Quicco and Mike!
They have exctellent activities going on each day where they ask you if you would like to join and tons of information about cape town all over the hostel.
Really clean and modern hostel! Definitly would stay there again!

Best hostel I ever stayed! The room (sky 2) has a nice design and they thought of everything when it comes to make your life beautiful and easy. There is a USB phone charger just above the amazing comfortable bed (so you don't have to handle those funny South African plugs), light next to it, great and spacious showers with hooks everywhere, lockers big enough for my 45L backpack, wonderful breakfast and the friendliest staff I've ever seen. Loved the braai. Wish I could stay there forever!

Honestly, an awesome hostel! One of my favourites and I've stayed in plenty over the years. Somehow it's able to balance the needs of everyone -- fun for the social butterflies, but quiet and chill if you're craving that; big dorm rooms, but also private rooms. Security wasn't a concern at all. The hostel is super clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. A great hostel for anyone.
